Replying to Another "What camera" thread (under $350)

I apologize in advance because I know someone has probably already asked this question, but what is the best camera for taking pictures under $350? I already have a gopro hero 3 that takes good enough videos but I want a camera that I can zoom in and take good quality pictures with. I guess I'd call myself a beginner because I don't really know what the different types of cameras are, I've just heard something about dslr cameras and regular point and shoot. I was looking at getting the Canon powershot sx510 hs for around $200, but if anyone else has a better camera for under 350 that takes great pictures and can do a little bit of filming it would be greatly appreciated if you could help, +K for good advice
